.. NOTICE OF VIOLATION Commonwealth Edison Company Docket Nos. 50-254; 50-265 Quad Cities Station, Units 1 and 2 -

License Nos. DPR-29; DPR-30  :

l During an NRC inspection conducted from May 6 through June 16,1997, two violations of NRC iequirements were identified. In accordance with the " General Statement of Policy and Procedure for NRC Enforcement Actions," NUREG-1600, the violations are listed below:

1. Title 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion V, " Instructions, Procedures, and Drawings," requires, in part, that activities affecting quality be prescribed by documented procedures of a type appropriate to the circumstances and include appropriate quantitative or qualitative acceptance criteria for determining that important activities have been satisfactorily accomplished.

Contrary to the above:

a. The inspectors determined that Quad Cities Operating Surveillance Procedure 6600-02, Revision 9, " Diesel Generator Air Compressor Operability," was not appropriate to ensure that the check valves on the emergency diesel generator air receiver tanks sealin the closed direction.

b. The inspectors determined that Quad Cities Abnormal Operating Procedure (OCOA) 2300-04, Revision 6, "HPCI [High Pressure Coolant l Injection) System Auto Trip," was inadequate in that the procedure did not direct operators to use QCOA 2300-08, Revision 4, " Turning Gear Failure to Start on a Coast Down,"in the event of failure of the HPCI turning gear to l engage upon shutdown. '

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1).(50-254:265/97008-04)

2. Title 10 CFR 50, Appendix B, Criterion XVI, " Corrective Action," requires, in part,

" Measures shall be established to assure that conditions adverse to quality are promptly identified and corrected."

Contrary to the above, from April 4,1995, until August 1996, a condition adverse to quality was not promptly identified and corrected as the corrective actions taken to address the presence of Zebra mussels in the intake structure were not effective in preventing the diesel driven fire pumps from becoming inoperable.

This is a Severity Level IV violation (Supplement 1).(50-254:265/97008-05)

Pursuant to the provisions of 10 CFR 2.201, Commonwealth Edison is hereby required to submit a written statement of explanation to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, ATTN: Document Control Desk, Washington D.C. 20555, with a copy to the Regional Administrator, Region Ill, and a copy to the NRC Resident inspector at the facility that is 9707240113 970711 PDR ADOCK 05000254 G PDR j
